Synopsis

A concise and accessible textbook covering ligand-binding theory in chemistry, biology, and drug development

In Ligand-binding Basics: Evaluating Intermolecular Affinity, Specificity, Stoichiometry, and Cooperativity, accomplished chemist Jannette Carey introduces ligand binding in a thorough and practical way for those new to the topic, as well as anyone seeking a connection between theory and experiment. Using a minimum of mathematical formalism, this book offers analytical rigor while remaining accessible to non-specialist practitioners. It provides readers with the skills they need to analyze their own binding data or published results, helping them develop an intuitive grasp of ligand-binding phenomena integrated with structural and thermodynamic understanding.

Topics covered include:

  • Application of the principles of equilibrium, mass action, and mass balance to derive the basic equations that describe all binding processes
  • Recommended approaches for plotting and graphical analysis of binding data
  • Strategies for designing, analyzing, interpreting, and troubleshooting experiments from the perspective of ligand-binding theory
  • Review of selected examples that illustrate integration of structural and thermodynamic analysis

Perfect for students and educators in chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmaceutical science, Ligand-binding Basics will also appeal to practitioners who aim to study ligand binding in any molecular system.
